Diplodocus :: Design Store - PTV #24

Everyone has to start somewhere and for the Young Kiwis studying a Diploma in Art at the Windermere Campus in Tauranga, they have the perfect place to do just that.

The Diplodocus Design Store is a creative project developed and managed by the the students attending the course.  Here they are able to show off their paintings, jewllery and ceramic designs whilst learning.

What I love most, apart from helping out the students by buying their art, is the fact that whatever you buy will probably be a one and only original.  Their art can be anywhere from playful to elegant and consists of art not only painted on canvas, but other materials as well - some extreme creativity going on here!

If you are out and about that way, or even driving through, do go in and check them out.  A great little store and another example of Kiwi Creativity - Choice!

Two Rooms - PTV #16

This is a great contemporary art gallery situated in Putiki Street, Newton and focuses on mixing it with both Kiwi and International Artists.

The gallery itself, which is a converted warehouse, is very unassuming.  It has a great feel about it and allows the artists to really represent themselves well.

Encouraging and supporting the local artists, Two Rooms also has a Residency Program that is used to provide opportunity for Kiwi or International Artists to work in Auckland for up to three months.

Find out what exhibition is on and go have a peek.  You may be surprised at what you may like!  Exhibitions change all the time, so sign up for the updates.  Lots of fun!
